Solution-phase bottom up self-assembly of nanocrystals into superstructures such as ordered superlattices is an attractive strategy to generate functional materials of increasing …
Many coherent imaging applications that utilize ultrafast X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) radiation pulses are highly sensitive to fluctuations in the shot-to-shot statistical properties of …
X-ray free electron lasers, with their ultrashort highly coherent pulses, opened up the opportunity of probing ultrafast nano-and atomic-scale dynamics in amorphous and …
The ability to understand and ultimately control the transformations and properties of various nanoscale systems, from proteins to synthetic nanomaterial assemblies, hinges on the ability …
The construction of highly coherent x-ray sources has enabled new research opportunities across the scientific landscape. The maximum raw data rate per beamline now exceeds 40 …
This dissertation explores the lattice degree of freedom in several heavily-substituted, highly disordered, and technologically relevant perovskite systems utilizing epitaxial thin-film …
